From the Pastor

PALM SUNDAY The Entrance of Our Lord into Jerusalem Prefiguring your holy Resurrection for us, O Lord, by your word, You raised your friend Lazarus from death and the tomb on the fourth day. You rode upon the foal of a donkey to symbolize for the Gentile the triumph of the Savior. Therefore, Israel, your beloved, offers You praise, O Christ, through the mouths of infants and babes, the witnesses of your entrance into the Holy City, six days before the Passover. Today the grace of the Holy Spirit has gathered us together, and taking up your Cross, we all say: Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest. КВІТНЯ НЕДІЛЯ Тріюмфальний В’їзд Нашого Господа До Єрусалиму Прообразом Твого святого Воскресіння для нас, Господи, став Лазар, якого слово Твоєї власти піднесло з гробу чотириденного. Своїм тріюмфальним в’їздом до Єрусалиму Ти, Христе, дав язичникам доказ своєї сили і слави. Ось чому, Ізраель, твій любимий, Тебе звеличує, Христе, устами немовлят і дітей, свідків твого в’їзду до Святого Міста, шість днів перед Великоднем. Сьогодні благодать Святого Духа зібрала нас разом, і беручи твій Хрест, ми говоримо: Благословен, хто йде в ім’я Господнє ! Осанна во вишніх.
